Ok, Now That My Cover is Blown, Here’s My Markie Post
Nancy calls me Markie when she is feeling funny. Since she is in Costa Rica and I’m not, I miss her. Yeah, awwwwwww, well you try living in a 90% empty house with two mutts and see if you don’t get lonely too.
So this is my Markie Post.
Markie? Blog Post? Markie Post? Like the actress?
I kill.
I liked Night Court. I had a thing for Markie Post.
Hope she’s happy. She’s Going Like 60 now and will be 61 November 4. Maybe she will read this. Tweet me Markie: @goinglike60.
Why isn’t Night Court on reruns?
That was a damn clever show.
Nanc’ also calls me Marcus. Never was a big fan of Marcus Welby, M.D., but that doesn’t mean a Marcus post won’t show up to compliment this Markie Post.
I was named Mark – with a “k” – after General Mark Clark – my dad has aspirations to become a General in the Army. He almost made it. Not Marc with a “c” which is pretty classy, but forever a pain in the ass for people to get right. Hell, half the people think my last name is Patton. Imagine having to get the first name with a “c.”
I like Mark as a name. Hard to get a really effective insulting nickname… unless you include Darkie Markie which really lost favor in the Sixties.
You should do a “Van” post.
Forget the first name. Van Patton sounds pretty classy. That could be your new identity in Costa Rica.
So your dad was trying to be General V. Patton?
I know many Marks with nicknames: Mark Up, Mark Down, Mark Out, and Mark Ette.
No my dad was trying to be Gen. Leon (Lee-on) Abraham Van Patten. When he signed official docs, he signed L.A.
He had a good nickname… https://goinglikesixty.com/2009/12/no-l-2/
One time, back in college? we had a class assignment to make a logo using our names. Mine was Mark-ette.
